Catcher Adley Rutschman, closer Félix Bautista, setup man Yennier Cano and left fielder Austin Hays will all represent the Orioles at the All-Star Game on July 11 at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park.The paths the four players took to each earn their first All-Star selection vary widely.

Attorneys general from 10 states plan to sue the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, saying its failure to review and ensure emissions standards for residential wood-burning stoves has allowed the continued sale of appliances that could worsen pollution.That means programs that encourage people to trade in older stoves and other wood-burning appliances, such as forced-air furnaces, haven’t necessarily improved air quality, the states say.“If newer wood heaters do not meet cleaner standards, then programs to change out old wood heaters may provide little health benefits at significant public cost,” the states wrote Thursday in a 60-day notice of intent to sue.The states involved are Alaska, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington, as well as the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency.They allege that the EPA’s current standards aren’t good enough and that even if they were, the agency’s testing and certificati...
